Description:
------------
Today, I tried to use mcrypt with utf8.
The background was a mysql-connection running in utf8-mode and for this reason all the transfered strings have to be encoded in utf8.
I set the default charset in the php.ini to utf-8 and php works fine but then I tried to encrypt strings with mcrypt and all the strings where given out in latin1 / ISO-8859-1 instead of utf-8.

I don't know why mcrypt delivers the strings in latin1 instead of utf-8 but I would be happy if this bug could be solved 'till next version.

For this time I'll use utf8_encode().

Reproduce code:
---------------
Irrelevant

Expected result:
----------------
utf-8 strings

Actual result:
--------------
latin1 strings

mcrypt produces binary output which is neither iso-8859-1 nor utf-8 therefore you should tell your database that that data is binary stuff, not text data.

Thanks, that's a good way but when I print the output of mcrypt with echo then it's definitively ISO-8859-1/latin1.
All the other chars on the webpage you can see but only these strings are questionmarks. When you change your charset to ISO you can see them! So I think it's ISO --> When it's binary why does it give out ISO with echo?
